SIL needs help picking seats for her soon-to-be step-daughters. One is 2yo, she guesses 35 pounds (I doubt she's that heavy, but will be FFing regardless). The other is 4-almost-5 yo, she guesses 50 pounds.

I should mention that money is a concern, and they'll be buying two sets of seats (two vehicles).

Perhaps a 40 pound seat for the 2yo for now, and plan on passing down the Nautilus and getting the older girl a booster when the time comes? I would need to get weight on the 2yo confirmed first, but I really, really don't think she's anywhere near 35. 25 is more likely.

Target currently has the super cute scenera (apples or trees of some sort) for $45 each. That would be $90 total for the smaller DD. That would help with cutting costs for now. I don't need a new seat... but I really really like that pattern

Overstock.com has a black friday sale of the Daisy Daze Scenera for $28.09... 2 seats for under $60 should help with the GN purchases

for wanting ease of use and install.. I'd go with the Nautilus.. hands down.

They look like big kid seats, too, and they come in girl patterns (and you can get matching or get different ones for each girl, depending on what they prefer)... And with that amazing cupholder and the cubbies... she will probably get lots of stepmom points from them for getting those seats.
